IT Recruiters - PLEASE READ:
Career Goals:
These are my career goals / industries I’m looking to enter…
-Game Development (Unity & eventually Unreal Engine)
-Emerging Tech (AR / VR) using Unity
- Continued Voice Acting (Commercial / Entertainment)
Web Development and IOS Native development are now former skills which will only be
used for either additional book publications or with my own sites / projects. Moving
forward, I only look to keep things focused in Unity / Unreal Engine development;
preferably game/app development.
Career Location:
There seems to be some confusion as to where I’m located, which jobs are actually commute-able and if I
can relocate. (Note will only relocate if not a contract job & in game dev industry)
1. Where I CAN commute to currently:
a. Telecommute (#1 preference if available)
b. Long Island (Nassau or Suffolk County)
c. Manhattan (via Ronkonkoma station toPenn)
2. Where I CAN’T Commute To Without Relocation (as a reminder, I live on
Eastern Long Island/ Lake Grove):
a. Brooklyn or Queens…unless walking distance to LIRR
b. Connecticut
c. New Jersey
d. Anywhere further away than a) b) or c)
3. Plans to Leave New York and Long Island:
Starting at the end of 2016 and into 2017, I plan on leaving the stress
and costs of New York and Long Island for sunny Florida (currently
aiming for Tampa area) so any roles that can be done
noncompetitively while being the Lead Unity Developer @ EdgeDNA
can also be in Florida, or better yet, telecommuted.
